​The 60th Annual Royal Canadian Legion Youth Leadership Training Camp will be held at Mount Allison University from July 5-12, 2020. This is a co-ed is camp sponsored by The Royal Canadian Legion, New Brunswick Command and is open to Grade 10 and 11 students of New Brunswick. The 8 day camp is designed to teach leadership and organization, through sport and activities.​

THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE LEADERSHIP CAMP 

Leadership camp is not an activity or sport camp but a camp whereby leadership skills are developed through a wide variety of activities. Sport(s) skills are the primary activities used throughout the camp.   

Leadership is a widely researched topic and leadership development can take many forms. The overall purpose of this camp is to develop leadership characteristics already present in the selected campers.  This is first done by practice and experiences. 

Leadership qualities and personal characteristics of leadership will be nurtured throughout the week long camp.  The most important outcome of this camp experience will be growth in personal and interpersonal leadership skills, knowledge and values.  These out comes typically will include improvement in communication skills (listening, speaking and writing), sensitivity to and respect for others, team building skills, appropriate use of leadership styles, self confidence, networking, planning, organizing and decision making. 

The youth leadership camp has continuously developed leaders for virtually every high school in New Brunswick the last 61 years. The camp is ever evolving. At the end of each camp the students complete a comprehensive questionnaire which is used to further improve the camp.  The staff of leadership camp is carefully selected from professional physical educators who themselves have demonstrated high levels of personal leadership. 

Interested students must speak to Guidance before the end of February.
